You're welcome.

Dev-Info (Consumer Versions): Please note that the Anti-spam feature was removed in the last update. We strive to provide the best protection possible, and our research and comprehensive review of the feature showed that Anti-Spam wasn’t offering enough value to our customers. Given that email providers nowadays provide strong embedded anti-spam filters, we decided to focus our development efforts on adding value in other areas. Recently we introduced new features such as Remote Access Shield, Password Protection, improved botnet protection, etc. We think these new features — along with ongoing improvements to our other many features — provide advanced protection for our customers.

Dev-Info (Business Versions): Important! In this version, the Antispam feature is being removed, and will not be available in any edition of Avast antivirus. For the clients who will not update to 21.4, the Antispam feature will be remotely turned off by the end of June 2021. But don't worry! You are still protected from email attacks with our Mail Shield feature! This feature offers comprehensive email protection by proactively checking incoming and outgoing emails to ensure they are completely malware-free.
